Subject: RE: Charlie Poole's Banjo Style
one of his favorite keys was G. So--

the G chord will be (4321 string) 7789 (bar at the 7th)
the C chord is 0012 (no "bar" at all)
the D chord is 2234 (bar at 2nd fret)
try Baltimore Fire, Goodbye Booze, Hungry Hash House this way. Just to drive you nuts, Don't let your Deal Go Down was played in F so the circle-of-fifths progression was D (bar at 2nd) G (bar at 7th) C (no bar) F (bar at 5th) -- easier to do than explain. Where to you live-- this is fun to do f2f! (I am in eastern PA near Phila)
